Top 5 Startups in San Francisco

With our new Startup Center, we wanted to take the time to highlight 5 San Francisco that we came across. Check them out!

Kite

Coding can be a long, drawn-out process, but Kite is aiming to solve that issue. Billing itself as a “smart copilot for programmers”, some of the program’s features include the ability to view documentation in-line with no searching required, code examples, and a cloud-based system that shows you how other programmers across the web code organized by popularity. Presently supporting four coding languages, Kite is working to expand its library of languages and make a program that’s helpful for programmers everywhere.

We’re a team of engineers combining different backgrounds and passions to bring next-generation tools to developers around the world.Join us on our quest and help us change code forever.

Using Orion Lab’s app on your cell phone, you can create groups so you can communicate with who you need to, whether one person or a larger group. In Onyx, Orion Labs has created a useful communication tool for the modern era.
